I don't watch anime and I still think it was one of the best episodes of the series. Whoever did British LSP is a phenomenal voice actor and once you accept the character's a poo poo heel there's a lot of good jokes in there.

I believe it was Peter Serafinowicz, who also dubbed the voice of Darth Maul in The Phantom Menace.

"Wake Up" was Andy Ristaino and Cole Sanchez; "Escape from the Citadel" was Herpich & Wolfhard; but, happily for you, "Sons of Mars" was a JMoyns/ACasta joint.

Is it me, or did the episode actually seem to harbour some spite towards the whole idea of Fionna & Cake? They're (intentionally) reduced to cardboard cutouts with no thoughts or agency of their own.

Also, take into account the author, who is basically using the fanfic to make herself look like an incredible person who even the perfect person loves and will even break through their reality to hang out with.

So, basically, LSP is the author of 'My Immortal'.

All Fionna and cake episodes poke fun at some elements of fan fiction, although I think they've stated here and there that they're not ridiculing all fan fiction. Bad Little Boy features a contrast of good and bad story-telling for example.

This episode shows an even worse story teller, but I think it's so ridiculous that fan fiction writers will hopefully not identify with it or take offense in the way they did with the first F&C episode.

I didn't mean to sound so negative, but the sequences in the previous episodes at least also functioned as stories, whereas this one was intentionally off-putting. It actually had sting, which fits perfectly, but that raises the question of whether an intentionally bad episode is just bad.

You'll watch no matter what, which allows the creators to branch out, experiment, expound on trivial details, follow tertiary characters and explore mocking the fanbase.

That was just LSP's self-indulgent take on F&C. Everyone should read the AT Fionna and Cake comics to get an accurate take on how the 'real' F&C would interact with Lumpy Space Prince (face-punching is involved).

Hell, I just took it that the female LSP has a crush on Finn, but doesn't know a thing about him. So therefore she didn't have much to contribute to his analog when it came time for her to write about her.

You SOB, you just made me think that instead of the fan fiction working as a rehash of LSP's inner conflict, it could be LSP abandoning everything Finn taught her and turning to his pubescent ethos of "whatevs" to justify her pathetic existence. This is wrong obviously, but drat you for making me think such tripe.

I've long been fascinated with how the alt-right develops elaborate and obscure dog whistles to try to communicate their meaning without having to say it out loud
Stepan Andreyevich Bandera being the most prominent example of that
I just realized that the entire episode was a plot by LSP to go gently caress herself.

Maja is a character who first appears in "Sky Witch." She buys Hambo from Ash and later trades Princess Bubblegum Hambo in exchange for Princess Bubblegum's rock t-shirt. She uses the material's emotional essence for a brew, which she says "will be big."

I'm late but I wanted to comment on the whole Finn-recovers-his-arm thing. I was really disappointed by that, it cheapens the episode when he loses the arm, but worse, it nullifies all the thrill of that foreshadowing with the mechanical arm. What the hell are they going to do with that now? Will Finn lose the arm again so he can have a mechanical arm? That's daft as all gently caress. Or maybe will they just forget that in every other iteration Finn was without arm, turning all of that meaningless.
I'm also wondering why most of you guys didn't even commented on that and only some of you just briefly mentioned it, the whole analysis on Finn emotional state is cool but Finn recovering the arm so soon seems like a much bigger deal to me.

I think I'm maybe approaching the cartoon the wrong way, Adventure Time kind of aways felt like that to me. To explain: I'm aways expecting it to be the kind of story that have a strong focus on continuity when I should see it more like just a normal Saturday morning cartoon that mostly resets to status quo by the end of the episode. I'm a much bigger sucker for the former, stuff like Neil Gaiman's Sandman or pretty much every manga (like One Piece) ranks much higher on my preferences.

So maybe it's just me, but even so I still think that in the specific case of Finn recovering his arm so soon, it was probably cowardice or pressure from higher ups on the network or something.

Yeah, this. And you knew his arm was coming back the second that goop fell on it. The weirdest part was that it didn't come back that episode.
